The Indiana Trifecta

[THISisTHEyear09]

Between Arnett, Bayshore, and Phegley i dont understand how IU didnt make it farther.

 

who do you think will be picked 1st out of these guys?

 

who will be the best in the future?

 

Will the Cubs pick any of them at 31?

Arnett will be the first of the three picked. The Cubs might be interested in him at 31 but some mocks have him gone before then.

Arnett should get picked first. There are rumors that teams in the 10-20 range are hot after him. Phegley and Bashore are more likely to be second or third round picks. If the Cubs have interest in any of them at 31, it'll be Arnett if he falls. I could see the Cubs having an interest in Phegley and Bashore in the second and third rounds. None of them seem particularly in the mold of Cubs draftees, though.

 

As for which will be the best, it depends on whether you favor upside or production. Arnett has a very good upside, but his history up until this season has been shaky. It's hard to get excited over some guys when they have one really good year of production after a few years of mediocrity. You don't know if the switch has been flipped or if he'll revert. Phegley, on the other hand, has a good bat and could stick at catcher. He's the safest bet of the three to make the majors, but even if he sticks at catcher, I have my doubts as to whether he'll be an All Star rather than a solid starter.

They won the Big Ten tourney for the first time since '96 and only the second time ever. I would consider that a success. I said this in another thread also that I believe Phegley will be the best of the bunch. He will stick at catcher and the kid can rake with great strike zone awareness. He may never be an all-star like Outshined said but I'm confident he will be a productive major leaguer. The IU prospect I'm most excited about is Alex Dickerson, the Big Ten freshman of the year. Next year I see no way he is not a first rounder.

If he was a true freshman this season, I don't believe he's going to be draft-eligible next season.

My mistake, that is right thank you. Two more years of A.D. will be fun to watch.
